Which one is better, burial or cremation?

In the United States, burial in a casket is the most prevalent method, with entombment as another option. However, cremation is gaining popularity due to its cost-effectiveness and flexibility in scheduling memorial services. Unlike burials, cremation allows for services to be held later, accommodating friends and relatives. Cremated remains are typically housed in an urn and can be buried, placed in mausoleums or columbariums, interred in urn gardens, or scattered in accordance with state laws. The choice between cremation and burial often depends on personal, financial, and cultural considerations. In the Asheville area, Asheville Area Alternative Funeral and Cremation Services offers both burial and cremation options, catering to these varied needs and preferences.
